I recently read about this product: Kids Konserve: A Common Theme … Helping The Environment. Sounds like a great company with a very good mission. I am always looking for ways to reduce our families footprint. I’m not perfect but where I can, I do.  I am sure we all have ways we are trying to conserve and teach our families the 3 Rs – Reuse, Recycle & Reduce!

The Kids Konserve waste-free lunch kit and other reusable products were the natural outgrowth of what two women saw as a big need that required immediate attention. With the premise that any business they undertook had to help the environment in some way, it didn’t take much imagination to see how they, as parents of young children, were contributing to garbage landfills, pollutants and sending the wrong message to their own children. How could they set an example of conservation for their children and empower them to be the examples of change for the future?

Focusing on how school lunch programs operate opened their eyes and propelled them to create Kids Konserve. Calculating the amount of trash being produced each day at their own schools during the lunch hour alone, shocked them enough to begin more research into reusable products that dramatically cut down on Earth’s ever growing garbage pile.
